Produktbeschreibung

ay ondan pasakli kari yok burada

Sezen Yayla is a serial killer.
There's nothing for her in the village of Yildizli to which she returns after years of hopping from corner to corner of Türkiye; exceptshe hopesthe key to unravelling the past of one of her most elusive kills.
Upon hers settling in the Yayla family's secluded old house on the hill, a local by the name of Kusta begins to stalk her.

Little does he know that Sezen is well aware.

Old habits die hard, so Sezen starts playing games with the man, telling him stories (under pretences of being an author) where the details of her own murderous history hide in plain sight.

It wouldn't be long until the idiomatic page turns to that one elusive tale, and far from only its past begins to unravel.

In this AMERICAN MARY x ANTICHRIST trangressive horror novella, grimdark author Sfarda L. Gül explores the vilest of humanity's impulses with unsettling neutrality, modern-age vigilante justice, the violent ramifications of anti-queer fearmongering, and the intersection of class and region-of-residence in Türkiye.
